Rosalía Sets Nov. 7 Release for ‘Lux’ After Times Square Leak Disrupts Madrid Launch

City officials opened an inquiry into the Callao street activation as Columbia outlined an 18‑track, four‑movement album built around orchestral scale and notable collaborators.

Overview

  • The artist confirmed her fourth studio album, ‘Lux’, for November 7, with preorders live on her site in CD and vinyl, and three tracks exclusive to the physical vinyl edition.
  • A billboard in Times Square revealed the title and date ahead of schedule, prompting a frustrated on‑camera reaction during her TikTok live before projections ran in Madrid’s Plaza de Callao.
  • Rosalía’s surprise appearance in central Madrid drew large crowds and traffic disruption on Gran Vía, and the city said the action lacked explicit authorization, prompting an investigation.
  • Columbia released the full tracklist: 18 songs grouped into four movements, including titles such as “Berghain,” “Dios Es Un Stalker,” and “La Rumba del Perdón.”
  • The record features the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daníel Bjarnason, with contributions from Björk, Carminho, Estrella Morente, Silvia Pérez Cruz, Yahritza, Yves Tumor, and choirs including the Escolania de Montserrat and the Cor de Cambra del Palau de la Música Catalana.
